On February 11, 2005, Revels gave a once-in a-lifetime party
celebrating singer and musician David Coffin's 25th
anniversary with Revels. We're happy to say that this magical
evening was professionally videotaped and is now available on
DVD. David Coffin and Friends: An Evening of Music and
Memories offers special performances by over 60 performers
who have shared the stage with David over the years,
including Libana, Jay O'Callahan, Carol Langstaff, Tony
Barrand and, of course, David himself. Proceeds go to the
"David Coffin School Programs Fund." This DVD is ONLY
available at www.revels.org. While there, check out the many
new books and CDs now available at the Revels Store!
This is the latest addition to David's growing collection of Maritime songs. What makes this project different from his last Maritime CD is the mix of traditional and contemporary songs. There are also two commissioned works that David has written commemorating the 150th anniversary of the construction of two Boston built Clipper Ships. David is especially excited about the new collaboration with Texas-based 'cellist, Max Dyer. And of course the continued partnership with Kent Allyn and David Surette. Special appearance by the CedarHouse Boys is a rather inviting addition. All of these songs tell a story about a time in history to which David feels a direct connection. As a Maritime educator performing in schools David is constantly looking for "gems" that bring the history to life. Here is just a sampling. Hope you enjoy it.
